This works:
But it's so much warmer if you leave the cat IN the skin!:

2 min sample of Warhol's 'Eat' featuring Robert Indiana & his cat He's wearing a hat...actually, a guy misinformed me about the movie. Claimed Warhol made a 15 mins of "fame" movie with a cat on Indiana's head. Guess not. (the guy had bought a Summer house in Indiana's neighborhood, and was intrigued by stories about the artist)

Wish I’d had this piece of information last night to post on yesterday’s FR Please Pray for my Kitty thread. Man, I got torn to shreds (as I should have been) just for posting the word “no”.

Cats did produce usable parts - gut, for example - and actually were eaten in many places, particularly in France and around Barcelona. In Spain, rabbits had to be sold with their ears on so that consumers could make sure they were not eating cat. There’s a Spanish phrase that means defraud, which is “dar gato por liebre,” meaning “offer cat as rabbit,” so you can see this was pretty widespread.

See this hat?
‘twas my cat.
My evening wear,
A Vampire bat.
My sweater, English setter
Nothing better!
See my vest, see my vest,
Made from gorilla’s chest.

This may explain the original purpose of cats an where the word hat came from.
Cat -> Chat -> hat
